It impacted millions (of games that came after it).
Imagine if it never existed.

didn't play it

It was so boring.
So lame that doing every shine get you a tunic (really cool looking) with the absolute most dogshit ability in the game.
Embarrassing - just a total waste of time. No rewards for anything at all.
No equipment, or unique unbreakable weapons.
Just nothing.
Breath of nothing.

The only thing it impacted is genshin, that turns out to be the better game and impacted even more games

>>723527098 (OP)
Other than inspiring the look of (the far superior) genshin impact, what effect would you say it had?

It's a definitive Zelda and definitive video game.

>>723527098 (OP)
that's not Skyrim

>>723527098 (OP)
Genshin Impact
TotK
And... Pokemon?

>>723527098 (OP)
open world slop is piss poor game design by definition. I recently fell for the elden bing meme because I thought fromsoft might be the only devs who could do it right, and I was wrong. its literally just souls theft auto and it sucks

have never played turd of the wild and never will. zelda ended with wind waker

>>723527098 (OP)
Name 5

Too lazy to change it to Gatcha. Stop boys, for your sakes.

Genshin ignited the gacha boom of the COVID era, locking us into GaaS, self-insert faggotry/needing every single woman to be intensely attractive or it's woke, absurd amounts of monetization and restructuring of teams to focus on mobile/PC hybrid games that barely hold on money wise, and massive, empty worlds that exist only to provide a small hit of dopamine when you find the item that lets you unlock a sexy pose for a woman faster. It also brought in a new wave of Chinese game developers, who have dispersed across the entire industry.

I dont want to be a shitty person, but there is just layers and layers to this awful take. Its so bad I have to wonder if you are a master troll, if so 11/10 sir.

Made Nintendo go full retard and sabotage their other IPs by turning them into open world garbage in an attempt to appeal to the fans of it. See: Prime 4.

BotW was fine. TotK was a disaster.

>>723528181
This, I felt the same way about GoW. Same game, ones great the clone is awful. It doesn't make sence but its true.

I'll never buy the IP again. Too many people like the new formula, but the new formula fucking blows

don't care, not my games

>generic open world game
>recycles fucking ubisoft mechanics of all things
Why do nintardos hold this game up as revolutionary? There were more impressive open worlds for decades before this came out...
I can't think of a single original thing this game did

>>723527825
>Called it Turd of the Wild but liked Wind Waker enough for it to be the "end" of the franchise
Interesting

>>723527648
You just know even fucking Fire Emblem of all things wouldn't be open world today if BotW weren't successful

>>723527098 (OP)
The main thing with BoTW is the story is unobtrusive. So many games shove their story and writing in your face, it always feels like an actor over-acting.

Open world slop is just a sign of bad, corrupt management being overseen by people who don't kill failing projects. BotW didn't lead to more open world games outside of the few games that directly leached off of its marketing.
